Don't know why I did it,

but I painted this mangrove forest entrance. It could be for any of the following reasons:1. I'm new in Miami2. I have an undying need to create a visual documentation of each day5. In doing so, I thought it might make sense of everything.6. The mangroves and coconuts are beautiful and I like to try to capture beauty4. because I CAN7. It was a challenge to behave like a student and just do a painting with out excuses.8. I felt challenged to make sense of the light. In particular, I wanted to imitate the middle range of shadows sandwiched between a sun blistered light fore and back grounds.
